The 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets bursts from the glass with an intense, explosive personality. Layers of finely sculpted fruit give way to clean, mineral notes on the crystalline finish. A hint of oak lingers, but there is plenty of time for the wine to come together. Anticipated maturity: 2016+. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s most exciting young producers. Colin-Morey works with six hectares of vineyards, three of which are estate owned, while the rest are sources of purchased fruit. According to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, the key to 2009 was picking early. The harvest started on the September 4. Colin-Morey did a long, slow press, with no batonnage once the wines were in barrel, all with the aim of preserving as much freshness as possible given the natural ripeness of the fruit. Roughly 80% of the wines were aged in 350-liter barrels, larger than the norm in Burgundy. Colin-Morey finished bottling the 2009s in April 2011. Colin-Morey told me he wasn’t enthused about the 2009s at first, but now thinks the wines have enough freshness to age well.A Daniel Johnnes Selection, imported by Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
